Odd firing behaviour TM M4

[Copcarman]

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could help me. My friend lent me his stock TM M4, and there's a bit of a problem.

Upon test firing of the gun, Corvinus and I found that after every few shots, a BB or a pair of BBs could come out at a 45 degree angle towards the ground, at a high speed. It even happened during the chrony at the last game we went to. I say it might be a double feed since the gun is not maintained well, and since he shot really crappy BBs out of it.

I would like to know if anyone knows what it might be, and if we can fix it.

Thanks!

probably the hop up rubber is worn out or torn... OR some sort of loading mech malfunction...


but check the rubber first...

Torn hop-up rubber!

Thanks for the responses guys, apparantly it's not the first time he's had a torn rubber on the hop-up, we'll check it out again tommorow and i'll give feedback when we're done.

stop firing crappy bb's with it!

That's what we're saying right now :P

We're going to tell him as soon as we give it back to use high polish BBs. Since I got it, we've been using BB Bastards.

Okay, so we took apart the rifle, and the hop-up rubber is fine, not torn in the slightest.


PS: it's a two piece hop-up

next step, look for proper loading mech operation, look if the loading nozzle is operating as it should. you could also crack the mechbox up to inspect it for : broken tappet plate/ return spring, or maybe the nozzle is just not on the tappet plate...
